In the spacious and bright magic laboratory, researchers wearing standard magician robes gathered around the experimental table, and the bright light from the magic spar was cast from directly above, clearly illuminating the real object on the experimental table in a piece of copper. , On a one-foot-square metal sheet, the mysterious elemental runes and magic lines are arranged into an orderly array of magic power. The nodes between the arrays flicker like breathing, forming a complete cycle of magic power. Magic circulation, it is outputting energy stably.
Repeatedly, stable and continuous, efficient and concise.
The mages in standard robes stretched their necks, looking at the thin metal plate on the experiment table with joy and excitement, and with a sense of nervousness, even the older mages held their breaths together with the young people, As if afraid that one breath would affect the magic circulation of those runes, in the silent laboratory, only a young black-haired female mage was clearly reporting the numbers: "Twenty-eight, twenty-nine, thirty..."
Gradually, some of the mages around broke the silence, and quietly counted with the female mage: "Thirty-one, thirty-two..."
In the last few numbers, everyone couldn't help but speak. In the huge laboratory, a group of the most intelligent people read in unison like apprentices who just learned counting: "Thirty-nine, forty, four Eleven... forty-two!!"
The number reached forty-two and stopped abruptly. After a short silence, almost everyone cheered: "Forty-two! One cycle is completed!! Stable operation, no interference! We succeeded!"
Among a group of cheering imperial mages, the young black-haired mage Mary applauded with everyone in a slightly reserved and awkward way. She raised her head and looked at the only person on the scene who was not cheering, the old high-ranking mage standing Next to the experimental table, he was still wearing the heavy and old mage robe. When everyone cheered, the expression on his face was like a stone carving, as if he was an outsider who had nothing to do with this scene.
It wasn't until everyone cheered for half a minute that the old mage raised his hand slightly.
The crowd around the test bench quickly quieted down. They looked at the old man in black one by one, and everyone's eyes gradually became more respectful.
In the world of magicians, only knowledge and power are respectable capitals, and this old man named Daniel has both.
At least at this moment, everyone in this laboratory no longer cares about the squirming artificial nerve cords behind Daniel, and no longer cares about the old mage's unpredictable temper and mean-spirited way of speaking.
"This is the magic net, the Typhon's own magic net," Daniel's sinister eyes swept across the faces of everyone at the scene, and a smile seemed to squeeze out of his wrinkled face, although it was a smile , but there was a hint of sarcasm in that smile no matter how you look at it, but he is well known for his eccentric temper, and no one would doubt it, "Now, we have cracked the secret of the Ansu people, but this is only the first step .”
The surrounding mages nodded one after another, and some people echoed: "Yes, we still need to find ways to miniaturize and mass-produce quickly..."
"The magic net unit of the Ansu people is said to be as big as the palm of your hand, but its efficiency is comparable to the big guy we made," Daniel nodded, "so the next goal is how to shrink it. As for mass production... we have already The repulsive piston power machine has been trial-produced, and now there is a stable energy source, as long as the first punching machine is running, the magic net and the machine will naturally be able to replicate themselves."
"Use machines to produce machines..." a gray-haired magician said convincingly, "Master Daniel, you are really a genius."
"It's a pity that the Ansu people started earlier than us and went farther. It is said that they not only made machines that can work, but even made machines that can cast spells. His Majesty is deeply disturbed by this, so we can't come here stop."
"A machine capable of casting spells..."
The mages were buzzing with discussions. These extraordinary people from all over Typhon, who have outstanding minds and insights, and are good at studying various unpopular fields, naturally realized the deep meaning of Daniel's words. They were shocked by this concept that challenged common sense , even a little panic and resistance, but they can imagine the meaning behind this technology. For them, this thing is like a deviant taboo field. However, now, the mission given to them by the emperor of the empire is to deviate from the norm and to study taboos.
A strange sense of excitement is motivating them, they are extremely nervous, but eager to try.
Daniel left the laboratory, leaving the imperial magicians to continue to be excited around a pile of runes, and apprentice Mary followed behind him.
"No wonder His Majesty the Emperor wants to recruit researchers from outside the Royal Mages Association," Mary followed the steps of her mentor. She has been working in this imperial research facility for a while, and this life, which is different from the previous life in the Mages Tower, made her Her original rabbit-like personality has also changed slightly, at least, now she dares to express her opinions, "Probably only these people will not have such a big resistance after hearing the concept of 'machines that can cast spells', but instead Will it spark interest in research?"
"That's still a bunch of idiots... just a little smarter than the most stupid people," Daniel commented bitterly, "this kind of achievement can satisfy them... They don't even know how amazing there is behind it Mathematics."
Mary wanted to say that things should be done step by step. It is impossible for people who have never been in touch with rune logic to think so profoundly after seeing the magic net for the first time, but she knew that if she said that, the instructor would definitely be angry, so she She wisely kept her mouth shut.
Daniel was in a pretty good mood at the moment. He raised his head and looked forward, looking at the long and straight corridors in the imperial research facility, as well as the neatly arranged rooms on both sides of the corridor and the coming and going of mages, scholars and alchemists. teachers.
This is the "Imperial Manufacturing Association" established by the Emperor Rosetta of Typhon himself. From the name alone, it can be seen that this is an organization completely different from the Royal Mages Association, various craftsmen's associations, and scholars' associations. Here, people with knowledge and skills are integrated together to create practical new things and new technologies. Since the establishment of the facility seven years ago, several epoch-making technologies that can affect the entire empire have been produced here, such as The burning rock acidification technology that has been promoted nationwide, the new road construction technology, and the new white crystal production technology that reduces the cost to only one-tenth of the original cost.
This facility was created by Emperor Rosetta, and its specific design, including the style of the laboratory, was written by Windsor Mapel, president of the Royal Society of Mages. The female president with a reputation as a genius has drastically reformed the rules of traditional mage buildings, replacing the dark, cramped, mysterious but not practical private laboratories of the old style with spacious and bright large laboratories.
It is said that many traditional mages disdain the laboratory in the "Imperial Manufacturing Association", thinking that it has lost the mystery and nobility of mages, but in Daniel's opinion
"Windsor has somewhat of a saving grace in the Design Lab."
He is very satisfied with the new laboratory designed by Windsor Mapel, because the spacious and bright environment reminds him of the "experimental space" created by the master.
Mary followed Daniel, and asked in a low voice at this time: "Teacher, are we going back?"
Daniel nodded slightly: "Well, you go to the office to sort out the materials first."
Mary responded, but before she left, a group of researchers with excited expressions suddenly came out from the corner not far ahead. After recognizing those people, Daniel and Mary stopped immediately.
"Ah! Master Daniel!"
The crowd walking not far away has noticed that Daniel, master and apprentice, both because of their own strength and knowledge, or because of the introduction of the president of the Royal Wizards Association, Daniel already has a high status in this facility, so Those people greeted each other when they were far away, and when they came to him, Daniel nodded his head as a response: "I'm about to go back, why are you so excited?"
"Ah, you should wait, we have something for you to see!" A scholar in a white robe showed a bright smile, "There is a bold and clever man from a watchmaker in Anglet You have brought a very interesting machine, and if the repulsive piston power machine you invented solves the energy problem, that machine may come in handy!"
"The machine brought by the watchmaker?" Daniel raised his sparse eyebrows slightly, with a playful tone, "What is it for?"
"Driven by the water wheel, it can weave cloth!"
Daniel's expression didn't change, he just stood quietly for a while, and then said softly: "Oh... this is really good news."
…
Cecil City, inside the Lord's Mansion.
Gao Wen's pen for reviewing documents suddenly stopped. He raised his head and stared at the wall in front of him as if without focus. After a while, he let out a slight sigh and his expression became extremely serious.
Amber, who was waiting by the side, immediately noticed Gao Wen's strangeness, and she looked over curiously: "What's the matter? I wrote for nothing again?"
Gao Wen shook his head slightly: "No, it's because time has suddenly become urgent."
In Typhon, not very far away, a machine called "Angray's Loom" appeared.
The loom itself is not a shocking creation. In fact, in Cecil, practical spinning machines and looms have already entered the stage of industrialization and practicality, but "a watchmaker in Typhon created a practical machine and Send it to the Imperial Research Facility" itself reminded Gawain like an alarm bell.
The development of Typhon is about to accelerate, and it will enter the next era at any time.
Emperor Rosetta created an advanced imperial system, and this system is showing its power naturally. After decades of centralization, change, exploration, construction and accumulation, Typhon's society seems to have accumulated the ability to break free from agriculture. With the power of the times, more and more craftsmen with knowledge and skills have the ability to transform their experience into technical products. More and more scholars have set their sights on practical industries in an open economy. The mages... have already started to walk out of the mage tower.
After so much accumulation, finally a brave watchmaker sent the machine he invented to the Imperial Research Facility. This machine will surely get the attention of Rosetta Augustus. That talented emperor will not ignore this piece. The role of the machine, and after this instance happened, the motivation received by Typhon's technical craftsmen can be imagined, and the speed of Typhon's development... can also be imagined.
In this world with magical powers and an astonishingly fast transformation of many technologies from theory to practice, once the "Industrial Revolution" starts, its development speed will only be faster than that on Earth.
At this moment, Gawain was extremely grateful that he sent Daniel to Aldernan in time.
He raised his head and looked at the curious Amber beside him: "Go and call Pittman and Kamel, as well as Hetty and Rebecca."
